Akiko's award

Hi everyone,
I just got back from Japan where I received the Japanese jazz magazine Swing Journal's 2007 New Star Award. This was the first time an organist has ever won the award.
Thanks for all your support,
Akiko

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year 2008.
May much peace and joy be with you throughout the coming year!!!
